Dorian Grayby *WildRainOfIceAndFire

Digital Art / Photomanipulation / Fantasy

Painting in detail from the same series: Dorian Gray's Painting

Old lady in detail: [link] Because I don't think this version really shows the fine details)

First of all... Full Image or I'll follow you in your dreams, dressed in a pink tutu and with a huge butcher's knife, "Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy" playing in the background....

Second of all, if you haven't read Dorian Gray by the amazing Oscar Wilde... the first threat is still valid...

“Why should it keep what I must lose?
Every moment that passes takes something away from me, and it gives something to it?
Oh, if it were only the other way! If the picture could change, and I could be always what I am now"

Dorian gets his wish to stay young and beautiful, while the picture ages.
But in real life we do not (unless you know something which I do not).
Thanks to the wonders of Photoshop we can erase all wrinkles and other signs of ageing, keeping ourselves eternally young.
But then again ... Photoshop is not real life...

Si totuși pare la fel de frumoasa... exceptând câțiva (mai mulți) ani în plus destul de vizibili.
Bravo!

i thought in the story of dorian gray, that the portrait of him gets older and uglier and not he himself??
